From: Brassinosteroids play a critical role in the regulation of pesticide metabolism in crop plants
(a) Chlorothalonil (CHT) residues in tomato leaves as influenced by the application dose of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR). Plants at the 6-leaf stage were sprayed with EBR at different concentrations and then exposed to CHT at 11.2 mM. Leaves were taken at 5 d after application of CHT. (b) Effects of EBR application on the pesticide residues in various food crops. EBR at 0.1 μM was applied 6 h prior to pesticide application and pesticide residues were determined 7 d afterward. Data are means of four biological replicates (±SD).
